But at the same time, I have to lament that British players do lack some spirituality. Lineker is already the best spiritual shooter among British players of this generation, but it is still difficult to keep up with Laudrup's thinking.

Liverpool got the ball back and launched a ground attack again.

This style of play that does not take big feet easily, but infiltrates from the ground makes British fans appreciate it. The British commentators on TV boasted that apart from speed and high-altitude bombing, British football is now also following the world trend. Gorgeous era!

The skills of the English have also begun to become more and more refined, which means that English football is no longer the rough European guy who can only make long passes.

But with Liverpool's ground penetration mostly being intercepted before entering the threat area, or being forced into a wide-footed cross, Liverpool fans gradually began to feel embarrassed again.

It's fine now, but it doesn't seem to be a threat?

Arsenal began to gain the upper hand. Although their offense was also thunderous and rainy, and they often failed to make contributions to key passes due to tacit problems, they were still more pleasing to the eye than Liverpool during the offensive process.

This is the embodiment of the player's personal ability. After the opening, Wu Jie frequently retreated to respond and actively cooperated with Laudrup, which made Arsenal far more enjoyable than Liverpool.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Wu Jie made partial passes and cuts with Laudrup. Liverpool's defense was good enough. A gap was made.

"He shot!"

The Liverpool fans watched Wu Jie outside the penalty area, seized a fleeting opportunity, unloaded the pass with a clever stop, and immediately turned around and kicked the goal. Everyone was shocked by tons!

Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobera focused his attention and immediately flew to save him, but what people didn't expect was that during the flight, the football drew a beautiful arc and bypassed Grobe's saving range. Fly to the right of the gate.

"God, how did this ball turn?"

"What the hell kind of arc is this, the Chinese are cheating again!"

"Do you have this ball?"

The fans of the two teams stared at the football flying towards the gate, but unfortunately, this strange arc ball that opened the eyes of the whole of England finally brushed the goal post and flew out of bounds.

But even so, the "Highbury Stadium" also raised cheers resounding from the audience!

The England fans in front of the TV also lamented: This No.1 in the world really deserves his reputation!

There is no one in England who can replicate Wu Jie's delicate dribbling skills, passing and catching skills, as well as his instant top-level curveball.

This attack also boosted Arsenal's morale, and then suppressed Liverpool in midfield for a while.

Although Arsenal has flaws in tacit understanding, relying on the leadership of two aura-filled foreign players, especially when everyone is doing multiplayer sports around Wu Jie, this makes up for the lack of teamwork to a certain extent.

Liverpool didn't hold it up either. Seeing that the enemy was strong and the midfielder seemed to be unable to grab it, they immediately shrank their heads and launched a defensive counterattack. They didn't have the arrogance of the overlord of the League One against the ordinary strong teams of the League One. It felt like it was against a mighty Bayern.

Liverpool's cowardice is easy to understand. In the words of head coach Joe Fagan, that is: Wu Jie is here, can An Neng not be afraid?

This made Arsenal's head coach Graham even more stunned. Today's tactic is clearly for them to fight Liverpool's defensive counterattack, but why does it seem to be playing around Liverpool now?

"It seems that this team is not suitable for defensive counterattack?"

Wu Jie also found that his teammates were not suitable for defensive tactics. Most of the players he chose were not good at discipline and defense. Except for the veteran Magath, almost all the players in the midfield were good at attacking skills.

However, problems also arise. If this lineup has been adjusted, it will certainly be able to play a mercury-laden, entertaining and creative offense that will definitely shock the whole of Europe.

But this time, although they can have an advantage in the midfield, it is actually the result of Liverpool deliberately giving up the midfield and strengthening the defense.

As long as Arsenal approach 30 meters in front of the goal, they will have to face Liverpool's watertight iron barrel formation. With their current passing and coordination ability, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to break through this dense defensive formation, they may even make frequent mistakes. Get hit back.

"This... won't be counterattacked?"

After the team took control of the midfield, Wu Jie came up with a bad idea.

Sure enough, after Liverpool strategically gave up control of the center, not only was the defensive end very solid, but they could also arrange serious illnesses to deal with him, and they could always catch Arsenal's mistakes and fight back.

In the next ten minutes, Arsenal was counterattacked by Liverpool several times in a row, with frequent dangers!

Wu Jie has more experience than his own head coach. Seeing that the situation is not good, he was about to find an opportunity to signal his teammates to retreat and stabilize the defense. As a result, Laudrup and Cunningham made another mistake in the cooperation on the right, and the football was directly defeated by Liverpool. get it.

This made him scream badly, but when he returned to the defense, it was quite timely to see his back line return to the defense. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Paul Walsh coming from the right side of Arsenal like a small sports car. Galloping past, he reached the threat zone in the front court in an instant.

As the backbone of Arsenal's defense, Viv Anderson has nothing to criticize in terms of ability.

But in the face of Walsh's absolute speed, his tall and strong figure was restrained.In other words, once this kind of speed player has the opportunity to show his ability, he will be the nemesis of all defensive players. Even he has been unable to catch up with Cunningham.

After Walsh sprinted for 40 meters with the ball, he only changed the direction of the ball with a simple change of direction, causing Viv Anderson to lose his defensive position in embarrassment.

Arsenal's defense has also undergone a major change. This year, two of the main defenders have been transferred. A few games have not allowed them to achieve a tacit understanding at critical moments. This time Terry Bo The defensive positions of Cher and Steve Boulder obviously overlap.

The quality of Walsh's pass after cutting inside is not very good, but Kenny Dalglish's technique is one of the rare top stars who can be called outstanding in the world.

He not only controlled the ball, but also quickly dribbled the ball into the front of the penalty area, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

Liverpool did not have the problem of running in. Wales forward Ian Rush hit the ball and hit Arsenal goalkeeper David Bloom with a strong shot.

Wu Jie felt that there was still a chance for the ball. Ian Rush's shot was powerful, but the angle was a bit positive. As long as the goalkeeper had a good position and quick response, he had every chance to save the ball.

"Grass!"

As soon as Wu Jie had this idea, he saw his tall goalkeeper make a save like a fool after the football flew past him. The football naturally flew into the goal without any suspense.

"This reaction... I'm afraid he is 40 years old?"

Wu Jie was very dissatisfied with this ball, he felt that he had every chance to stop the ball, and Lin Yaodong would have saved [-]% of the ball.

"Highbury Stadium" has been in a passionate atmosphere after Liverpool scored a goal, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on the head, but what followed was a burst of extremely unseemly curses!

Of course, these curses were sent to the visiting team Liverpool. England fans would not be able to score a goal, so they yelled at their own team, which only happens when they lose and lose.

This time, Arsenal fans sent all the vicious words they could think of, including various personal threats, to Liverpool players.

Wu Jie doesn't like this kind of football atmosphere. Although the German fans in this era are not much better than the British, at least they have a bottom line than the British fans, and there will not be so many curses of death threats!

The Arsenal players naturally didn't think about these issues. They couldn't accept the blow that they conceded the ball first, although they had been gaining the upper hand since the start.

Most importantly, the current backward situation makes them feel that they are dragging Wu Jie down.

This is actually the common mentality of all Arsenal players. Of course they feel a great honor to play with Wu Jie, including the young Laudrup who also thinks it is an honor to be Wu Jie's second master. It is impossible to have any unreasonable thoughts for several years.

But these emotions are also a kind of pressure, because Wu Jie has long proved that he is the strongest player in active service in Bayern and the Chinese national team, and he is definitely the core that can make a team sublimate alone.

If he can't help a team improve too much, and can't help a team get enough honors, then the problem is of course his younger brother.

It's like most people would agree that Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions failed because there were no generals in Shu, the national power was weak, Shu and Wu each had their own schemes, and it was because of the idiot of Adou, they would never think that Zhuge Liang had any problems.

At this time, the Arsenal players also had the same idea, and they inevitably became impatient. This emotion came from wanting to prove themselves too much.

But under the current bad chemical reaction, this kind of impatience makes it more difficult to carry out linkage and cooperation of more than two people, and both offensive and defensive ends appear to be in a mess.

Soon, apart from active small-scale cooperation with Wu Jie, Arsenal players will rarely see larger-scale cooperation. This allows Liverpool to truly sit back and relax as long as they deploy heavy troops to keep an eye on Wu Jie.

The first half was about to enter injury time. Liverpool took advantage of a not-so-great counterattack to penetrate Arsenal's disjointed midfield and backcourt again. Captain Souness scored a long shot from outside the penalty area. .

At this time, Graham not only saw that his team was in disarray, but also saw that his goalkeeper had a big problem.

Although David Bloom is 192cm tall and has solid basic skills, he seems to be a bit weaker in "defensive position selection" and "reaction".

The quality of Souness's long-range shot is not bad, but it is not the kind of world wave that cannot be saved.

This type of shot must have a save rate of at least 60% for a top goalkeeper. Otherwise, how can a good goalkeeper top half of the team?

Of course, no goalkeeper can guarantee [-]% complete saves, and it is understandable that this kind of ball is scored.

But David Bloom didn't save any of the two goals they conceded in the first half, so he can't be considered a good goalkeeper.

At the last moment of the first half, Wu Jie was still under Liverpool's key defense and could not help the team narrow the point difference. Arsenal could only return to the locker room at home with a 0-2 deficit.

After the "Highbury Stadium" lost the second goal of its own team, the momentum also plummeted!

When the Arsenal players returned to the player channel, there were only sparse applause and encouragement in the entire stadium.

At this time, half of the fans fell into autism. On the one hand, they were speechless to their own team, and on the other hand, they cursed Liverpool to vent their negative emotions.

Wu Jie has nothing to do. Although he had a few amazing individual performances in the first half, they were basically dribbles and tricks outside the threat zone. Did not create too many deadly threats, including only 4 shots. Although the quality of the shots was good, due to the relationship between the shot distance and the shot position, they were all resolved by the excellent Liverpool goalkeeper.

After all, this Liverpool team is at its peak, and its running-in degree is far superior to Arsenal. If it cannot cooperate in the hinterland, it will be difficult to get a fatal shot opportunity, and naturally it will be difficult to break through the opponent's goal.

But this is exactly the problem that Arsenal can't solve in a short period of time. It is difficult for them to play a multi-player team under Liverpool's shrinking defense. At most, they can pass a few kicks through the personal abilities of Wu Jie and Laudrup. A deadly pass that is difficult for a teammate to respond to.

Graham is very decisive. Of course he knows that relying on the individual performance of the players is definitely not the right way to win, but there is no other way right now.

So he decisively replaced Cunningham, who was doing nothing for most of the time, at midfield, then moved Wu Jie back, and finally replaced the Danish monster Preben Elkyer to increase the frontcourt attack force.

Wu Jie agrees with this substitution very much. He is not very satisfied with Lineker's performance today. This person did not play the erratic and agile game when he was in the England team. He wasted several passes between him and Laudrup in the first half. ball.

But this may be related to his position. In the first half, he played the center forward position. Although the range of activities is by no means limited to the forward position, it still made Lineker, who wanted to cooperate with him too much, a little at a loss. his agility.

If he returns to the midfield, Lineker will not only have more room to move, but will also play more comfortably.

Otherwise, as in the first half, if you don't play the characteristics of being diligent in interspersing, good at running, and erratic, then Lineker's ability will be locked.

After such an adjustment, Arsenal's tactics in the second half became more obvious.

Graham wants to use Wu Jie and Laudrup's creativity and spirituality far beyond the English players, and find ways to use their personal abilities to score goals.

This season, due to the big change of blood, Wu Jie came too late again, so they can only practice in this way, slowly polishing the chemical reaction from actual combat, and dig out the most suitable style of play and starting lineup.

Chapter 321 King's Landing

In the second half, Wu Jie's retreat made Arsenal's advantage in the midfield more obvious.The biggest advantage of his parallel position with Laudrup is the improvement of control.This kind of control is not only reflected in the offensive end, but also in the defensive end.

This is somewhat similar to the combination of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan. This kind of midfield combination that can pass, shoot and continuously surpass people is enough to control the overall positions of 18 people on both sides except the goalkeeper. To put it bluntly, it can dispatch teammates and opponents to follow your thinking To move, in this case, it is naturally easy to create a gap, suppress the opponent, and return to defense more immediately.

Arsenal's poor cooperation. Under this kind of overall planning, although it is easy to go wrong when digging into the details, it has begun to operate according to Wu Jie's ideas in the general direction. The current Arsenal has a tactical advantage and an execution disadvantage.

So in the first 10 minutes of the second half, Arsenal once again controlled the rhythm of the game, but they always took a breather because of insufficient execution.

Fortunately, after Wu Jie came to the midfield, he strengthened the return efficiency of the defensive end, and Liverpool's counterattack became difficult to play under his command.

At this time, Joe Fagan showed his strategic determination as a top coach. He did not rashly choose to switch to a full-back when he was leading by two goals. Instead, he replaced David Hodgson, who is also good at speed, in the 60th minute. Arsenal's attack puts pressure on.

But in addition to replacing another speed forward, Liverpool's formation began to retreat, which is determined to play a defensive counterattack.

In addition, in the second half, Liverpool also completely gave up playing on the ground and completely retreated to the British "long pass and lob" style.

But the effect of this style of defensive counterattack is very good, especially against this Arsenal team.

This is the first time for Wu Jie to experience the power of Liverpool. When he was at Bayern, he really didn't feel that Liverpool was a threat. Even during the worst period of Bayern last season, he still had a condescending attitude towards the English team. This shows that he also underestimated Bayern.

After halftime in the second half, Wu Jie noticed that the physical strength of the Liverpool players began to decline, which meant that he could launch a personal heroic attack.

He had considered this before the game. If Liverpool took the lead in the first half today, then he would have to rely on his inhuman staying power to keep attacking Liverpool's defense in the second half.

One of the magic weapons of Chinese football and basketball is the super physical fitness of the core players. Every time they reach the final stage of the second half, their opponents’ main players are often troubled by physical strength, and their offensive and defensive efficiency will inevitably decline.

But at this time, the core of the Chinese team was able to maintain the impact of the first half. Under this kind of ebb and flow, it might be a wave that took the opponent away.

In the 77th minute of the second half, Wu Jie passed the ball to Laudrup after passing two Liverpool players in a row in the midfield, and he accelerated to insert diagonally forward.

Laudrup's spirituality is really good. After receiving the ball, he made a pick pass and gave the ball to Elkyer who turned around to respond.

Preben Erkeyer's upper limit is not as good as Lineker's, but the Dane, who is at his peak, is slightly better in terms of immediate combat power, and his experience is also more than Lineker's. He intended to take the ball, but immediately knocked back to Wu Jie who was thrusting in from the side.

Wu Jie's insertion speed was too fast. Liverpool immediately sent two more players to intercept after being connected by two people, but he rushed to the front of the penalty area and got the football.

Liverpool players did not dare to take random kicks at this time. They deliberately controlled fouls within 40 meters in front of the goal today to prevent free kicks from being given to Wu Jie. Now they dare not foul in front of the penalty area.

Everyone knows that this alien not only has an original "elevator ball", but also has very superb "banana ball" and "fallen leaf ball" skills, each of which can take the enemy's head at a distance of 30 meters.

Their defense is so good today, if they die on Wu Jie's free kick, it will be more painful than letting Wu Jie score several goals in a row.

But this time, Wu Jie is going to rely on "individual heroism" to score goals. Although the quality of Elkeyer's counter-knock is not high, because he plugs in too fast, even though Elkyel has deliberately passed forward. , but still did not expect that Wu Jie would still have such an amazing sprint speed at this point in time, and the advance of the pass was still too small.

However, this is the reason why Wu Jie can score goals in almost every game. Few players in this era can still have his physical ability to sprint at will in the last 10 minutes of the second half.

For this ball, he used a juggling turning action during the march. Not only did he use the arch of his feet to lift the fast-flying football over his head during the turn, but he also tapped the football with his head after his body turned back.

This series of actions caught Liverpool's central defender Alan Hansen off guard. How could he have guessed that Wu Jie would use such a goddamn stoppage action, let alone that Wu Jie would point the ball in the direction he rushed over.

Alan Hansen rushed over from the right side at high speed, but the football fell to the position where he ran over. By the time he reacted and braked, Wu Jie had already pushed him aside with his strong body.

This time Liverpool's two defensive players were stuck to the left in an instant, and their own people blocked their own.

After Wu Jie caught up with the football, he immediately sped up. The two in the rear didn't even have a chance to tackle the ball, so they could only watch Wu Jie drive the ball into the penalty area.

After Wu Jie entered the penalty area, he immediately raised his head and glanced at the goalkeeper's position. Before the other Liverpool defenders could react, he shot a cold shot!

The moment Bruce Grobera looked over at Wu Jie, a warning sign rose in his heart!

But his body couldn't react at the same time. Wu Jie's shot was not only sudden, but also of very high quality. The most important thing was to use his left foot.

As soon as Grobbela made a sideways pounce, the football rushed into the upper right corner of the goal quickly and quickly under the unsolvable world wave that Wu Jie drew out with his left foot.

When Grobbela looked back at the position of the goal, he could only shake his head and smile helplessly.

It’s useless even if he reacted to the ball, because he thought Wu Jie would shoot with his right foot from the beginning to the end, but he didn’t expect Wu Jie to shoot with his left foot, which meant that he couldn’t stop the shot from his position. shot.

"Highbury Stadium" was finally ignited at this moment, and nearly [-] fans at the stadium shouted "Goooooooooooooal" for more than ten seconds, screaming loudly like crazy people, shouting, non-stop Shouting the name of the team and Wu Jie.
